    For me it's managing multiple affiliate partners and having to deal with stats for every single one.  It's such a pain in the ass to have to use stats remote (which is clunky IMO) and also make sure that all checks are collected on time.

    what about you?

    As affiliate, a lot of competitions.

    What affiliate program do you use? Usually affiliate program has automatic reporting and payment system.

    I use quite a few, but some don't always pay on time.  so i then have to back and check quite often what is going on with payments.  also the stats, sometimes their tracking goes down, etc.

    this mostly occurs with non-network programs

    ...battling the inbox everyday
    all the pitches and offers that are ...tempting
    traffic,automatic linkbuilders, 3-click millionaire software
    adsense, autoblogging, article spinners... on and on
    all the promises to riches and magical short-cuts
    that don't work!

    Biggest challenge has to be the ad copy, getting into the mindset of a potential buyer and encouraging the sale
